PAPER-DISPENSING DEVICE.

Application filed June 24, 1920. Serial No. 391,399.

T 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HERMAN C. TALBOT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, county of Cook, and Stateof Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Paper-Dispensing Devices, of

which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to paper dispenslng devices, and particularly to manually or coin-controlled devices of'this character.

It is an object of the invention to provide, in conjunction with a swinging door and its actuating means, a separator which is adapted to separate one paper from the stack and to prevent the discharge of succeeding papers.

It is a further object to provide apin and slot connection between the separator and swinging door, whereby the separator may be moved independently of the door for separating a paper from the stack, and thereafter the door may be swung into open position for the discharge of a paper thus separated.

A still further object consists in providing means to prevent movement of the separator beyond a predetermined extent, but permit ting movement of the door.

With these and other objects in view, which will become apparent as the description'proceeds, a preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the appended drawings, described in'the specification and particularly pointed out in the claims annexed thereto.

In the drawings:

Fig. l is a front view of the device con structed in accordance with the invention, parts being broken away to disclose interior arrangement.

Fig. 2 is a section on line 2- 2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the complete device. I

Fig. 4 is a fragmentary side view of the device showing the separator in position previous to discharge of a paper.

Fig. 5 discloses a fragmentary view with the parts in position that they take when the paper is being delivered.

Referring to the several views of the drawings, 1 designates generally a box of,

convenient form and of a size adapted to receive a stack of papers. The box comprises a top 2, a rear wall 3, a front wall 4 and side walls 5 and 6. As indicated in Fig. 2, the box is provided with a false bottom, comprising a narrow strip 7 arglass panel door 10 at the upper end thereof which is secured by hinges 11 to a transverse strip 12, constituting aportion of the front wall. A look 13 serves to secure the panel door 10 in locked condition and when removed the panel may be swung open for the purpose of introducing a stack of papers, as will be readily understood. The hinges 11 may be provided with springs in order to automatically maintain the panel door 10 in closed position, but such springs may be dispensed with, if desired, without affecting the present invention. The strip 12 of the front wall is provided at its lower edge with spring controlled hinges 14, to secure thereto a trap door 15 which may be swung about the pintles of the hinges 14 to uncover the opening for which the door 15 constitutes a closure. Underneath the door 15 a plate 16 is provided, which is adapted to slide in guides 17 arranged on theside walls of the box, the plate 16 ordinarily maintaining a distance from the lower edge of the door 15 for a purpose presently to be described. The slide plate 16 is connected at its ends by a link 18, articulated with the plate 16, as by 19, and pivotally secured to the door 15 by a headed I pin 20 which extends through a slot 21 in the link 18. The link 18 extends beyond the pivotal connection 20 of the door and is articulated with a member 22, which at its other end has a plurality of apertures 23, so that the adjacent end of an actuating lever 24 may be adjustably secured thereto. The lever 24 is secured to the side wall by a pivot pin 25 and its free end may be moved, until such movement is arrested by an abutment pin 26. as is obvious from Fig. 3. A spring 27 secured to the side wall 6 and to the operative end of the lever 24 tends to maintain the latter out of engagement with the pin 26.

As indicated in Fig. 3, the side walls are formed with rectangular cut-outs 28 to provide for the passage of a transversely extending rod 29, which is formed with forwardly bent ends 30, pivotally secured at 31 turned about its pivot 25 which movement is ,,otcourse, imparted to, the member 22-, so that. t ials- 1 by he ope i n oi he membe V. ,w l: e ra d, an her wit 'th Pl te W l ere at a vertic l m en until thelower end of the slot 21 enters into engagement with 'thepivotpin 20.
